Posted August 28, 20204 yr Hello, The forum I help administer is a private, members-only installation. Nothing should be visible to persons not logged in, and so far that's all working perfectly. I cannot find any settings to disable search engine robots from crawling our members-only content. I'm not seeing that content when I google the names of forum threads, but I'm not sure that means it's not being indexed somehow anyway. Question: how can I disable search engine indexing for everything except the login page?
